The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

How it feels

A relentless, arcade-style shooter where you mow down waves of enemies at breakneck speed through vivid, old-school levels.

What players say

Players say it improves on the first game with bigger, more varied levels and satisfying new weapons like the sniper rifle and chainsaw. Some dislike the gravity and bouncing sections that break the classic feel, and opinions split on whether the final boss is easier than the second one.
